  1. Travelling Folk
    In the times long ago any travelling men and women used to get lodging in the farmer's houses. For a man, a bed would be put up in the barn. On a bed of straw he would lie. Sometimes he would be kept for a week and sometimes only for a few days. A poor woman would be in and there would be a bed put up in the corner for her.
